What's Wrong?

[BUG] After a recent update, Claude Cowork is no longer able to use cloud storage folders on Macos.

This is because any symlink to the Onedrive folder (in this example) gets resolved and CC can see it is under ~/Library.

This used to work, I know it's been tightened up to make the system more secure, but it breaks a really key area: being able to easily share folders between machines.

What Should Happen?

Claude should allow symlinks that resolve into ~/Cloudstorage or even just allow overrides to arbitrary folders.
